The Stove Front
                              Now that the top is clean, clean down the
                              front of the stove. The first little roadblock
                              here can be a row of burner control knobs.
                              Knobs can be cleaned by spraying with Red
                              Juice  and  using  your  toothbrush  on  them
                              and around their edges.

            If  you  can't  get  this  area  clean  without  removing  the  controls,
            first  clean  and  wipe  the  knobs  themselves  while  in  place.  Then  pull
            each one straight out, wipe it clean, and set it on the counter to
            the right of the stove in the same relative position it was in while
            on the stove. While the knobs are off, clean the area of the stove
            front you couldn't clean while the knobs were in place. Use Red
            Juice and white pad on this area and wipe it dry before replacing
            the knobs. This chore shouldn't have to be done every time you
            clean.

            Open the oven door to clean the oven side of the window. It can
            be cleaned with your razor blade. Be sure to spray the window
            first with Red Juice: It's easier to clean and it's also more difficult
            to  scratch  the  glass  when  it's  wet.  This  window  should  be
            cleaned even though you're not cleaning the inside of the oven.

            Wipe  the  rest  of  the  front  of  the  stove  as  necessary.  Don't
            automatically clean the entire front of the stove. Remember that
            horizontal  surfaces  get  dirty  faster  than  vertical  ones.  Once
            again: If it isn't dirty, don't clean it.

            The Middle of the Room
            If  there  is  a  work  island,  this  may  be
            the right time to turn around and clean
            it.  Just spray and wipe the counter top.
            The important thing is not to overlook
            it.
